New Orleans preview articles

UK post-punk legends The Cure are coming through town May 10-11 for a
two night stand at the UNO Lakefront Arena. The Cure remain an
outstanding live band. Their headlining sets often stretch to three
hours and include a mix of hits and deep cuts. Whether you’re a longtime
fan or casually interested, this is one worth seeing.

Goth-pop didn’t get much more melodic than that of The Cure. Singer-songwriter Robert Smith, a poster boy for the permanently pale, and his collaborators churned out a long string of irresistible tragic-romantic singles in their 1980s heyday: “Boys Don’t Cry,” “Close to Me,” “Just Like Heaven,” “Lovesong,” “Why Can’t I Be You,” “Friday I’m in Love,” “The Love Cats,” “Pictures of You.” Smith and company occasionally reconvene to hit the road. Following an extremely well-received show at the 2013 Voodoo Experience, the Cure will launch their 2016 North American tour with two nights at the Lakefront Arena. Tickets for the arena floor are standing-room-only general admission; balcony seats are reserved. The Twilight Sad is the opening act for both nights.

And Where Y'at Magazine (May 2016) seems to think it's still 2000 and that the Dream Tour is about to begin. Don't we wish!
